This position is a 12-month research-track position with the potential for renewal and transition to tenure track dependent upon performance appraisal, mutual consent, and funding availability.
1.5.2.4 Research Faculty. Research professorships are annual, renewable term, non-tenure track appointments at the rank of Research Assistant Professor, Research Associate Professor, and Research Professor. These positions will be used to support and enhance research programs and initiatives and create research activities at OSU-CHS. These individuals will be expected to develop independent research programs and serve as principal investigators on proposals to external agencies. In hiring into the research professor track, OSU-CHS looks to attract high quality researchers who hold promise to become engaged in academic and scholarly activities including but not limited to performing collaborative research with academic faculty; supervising undergraduate or graduate research; serving on departmental or college committees; and organizing, attending, and presenting at professional conferences and seminars. The primary assignment will be research, and these individuals will not serve as primary Instructors in regular course offerings of departments or degree programs. Instructional activities will be limited to offerings specific to their research expertise and supervision of graduate students as provided for by membership in the Graduate Faculty. The salaries and fringe benefits for research professors are to be paid by external grants and sponsored programs. The existence of research professor positions is contingent upon availability of funding.
Continued employment of a research professor during the term of appointment will depend on the availability of external funding. If reappointment is desired, an application for reappointment is required prior to the end of the contract period. Reappointment is contingent upon satisfactory performance as determined through performance appraisal and the availability of external grant funds and/or bridge funds.
Research Assistant Professors and Research Associate Professors will be eligible to seek promotion to Research Associate Professor and Research Professor, respectively, after five years of service in rank according to guidelines for promotion developed by the sponsoring academic unit(s).
Should such an individual be appointed to a tenure-track position following an appropriately approved search, the time spent in the research position shall not count as part of the probationary tenure consideration period, unless specified in the memorandum of understanding for the permanent position.
